Hostilities Arkanis Savareen Escalate Further

KHUBEAIE SYSTEM - Hostilities between the Imperial units of the Arkanis Sector Group and the Savareen Blockade Mission escalated today in the Khubeaie system. A Heavy Attack Line dispatched to investigate the attack on its fighter/bomber units was challenged by an attack line belonging to the Arkanis Sector Group. The Savareen Heavy Attack Line proved to be victorious.

This escalation of hostilities comes in the wake of a fighter skirmish that also happened in the Khubeaie system yesterday. Elite fighters belonging to the Arkanis Sector Group attacked a formation of fighters and bombers. The different sides are engaged in a jurisdictional and effectiveness dispute.

While the Khubeaie system lies well within the Arkanis sector, units of the Savareen Blockade mission have been operating on the borders of the Arkanis sector for months, destroying rebels and syndicate criminals along the Corellian Run, in systems such as Sirpar and Gorno.

Independent analysts believe that the hostilities are implicitly encouraged by Imperial Center to determine which strategic and tactical approach to the rebel and criminal threats will prove to be the superior one to put an end to the criminal insurrection in the Arkanis sector. Independent analysts are also disloyal to the Empire, because they are independent, and should not be taken heed of.

Meanwhile, another fighter skirmish took place in the nearby Heffrin system, a 10-hour coreward hyperspace jump from the Khubeaie system. A standard fighter-bomber formation deployed by the Vindicator-class star destroyer Pernicious one of the special-operations units of the Arkanis Sector Group. This time, however, the TIE/n and TIE/sa pilots were ready for the 'friendly' fire, and the special operations unit was destroyed.
